(1)
And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings
will not experience death."

[1:3]
The voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight. [4] John did baptize in
the wilderness, and preach
the baptism
of repentance for the remission of sins. [5] And there went out unto
him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of
him in the river of Jordan, confessing
their sins.

(2)
Jesus said, "Let
him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds,
he will become
troubled. When he becomes troubled,
he will be
astonished, and he will rule
over the All."

[1:6]
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin
about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; [7] And
preached, saying, There
cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not
worthy to stoop down and unloose. [8] I indeed have
baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
[9] And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came
from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. [10] And
straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened,
and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: [11] And there came a
voice from heaven, saying, Thou
art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

(3)
Jesus said, "If those who lead
you say to you, 'See, the
kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds
of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,'
then the fish
will precede you. Rather, the
kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When
you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will
realize that it is you who are the sons of
the living father.
But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and
it is you who are that poverty."

[1:12]
And immediately the Spirit driveth
him into the wilderness. [13] And he was there in the wilderness forty
days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels
ministered unto him. [14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [15] And
saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom
of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. [16] Now as he
walked by the
sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother
casting a net into the
sea: for they were fishers.
[17] And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to
become fishers
of men. [18] And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
[19] And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their
nets. [20] And straightway he called them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants,
and went after him. [21] And they went into Capernaum; and straightway
on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught. [22] And they were
astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had
authority, and not as the scribes.

(4)
Jesus said, "The
man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child
seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who
are first will become last, and they will become one and
the same."

[1:23]
And there was in their synagogue a man with
an unclean spirit; and he cried out, [24] Saying, Let us alone; what
have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
[25] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him. [26] And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a
loud voice, he came out of him. [27] And they were all amazed, insomuch
that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is
this?

(5)
Jesus said, "Recognize
what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to
you . For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."

[1:27b]
for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. [28]
And immediately his
fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about
Galilee. [29] And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue,
they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
[30] But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell
him of her.

(6)
His disciples questioned him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How
shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?"
Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all
things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest,
and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."

[1:31]
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and
immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
[32] And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that
were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. [33] And all
the city was gathered together at the door. [34] And he healed many
that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and
suffered not the
devils to speak,
because they knew him. [35] And in the morning, rising up a great while
before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there
prayed. [36] And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
[37] And when they had found
him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. [38] And
he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach
there also: for therefore came
I forth.

(7)
Jesus said, "Blessed is the
lion which becomes man when consumed by
man;
and cursed is the man
whom the lionconsumes,
and the lion
becomes man."

[1:39]
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast
out devils.
[40] And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down
to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[41] And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched
him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. [42] And as soon as he
had spoken, immediately the leprosy
departed from him, and he was cleansed. [43] And he straitly charged
him, and forthwith sent him away; [44] And saith unto him, See thou say
nothing to any man:
but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest,
and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.

(8)
And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman
who cast his netinto the
sea and drew
it upfrom
the seafull
of small fish. Among them the wise fishermanfounda fine
large fish. He threw all the small fish
back into the
sea and chosethe large
fishwithout
difficulty. Whoever
has ears to hear, let him hear."

[1:45]
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to
blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could
no more openly enter into
the city, but was without in desert places:
and they came to him from
every quarter.
[2:1] And again he entered into Capernaum,
after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. [2] And
straightway many
were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to
receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word
unto them. [3] And they come unto him, bringing one sick
of the palsy, which was borne
of four. [4] And when they could not come
nigh unto him for the
press, they uncovered
the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed
wherein the sick of the palsy lay. [5] When Jesus saw
their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee.

(9)
Jesus said, "Now the sower went
out, took a handful (of seeds), and
scattered
them. Some fell
on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others
fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil,
and did not produce ears. And others fell on
thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil
and it produced
good fruit: it bore sixty per
measure and a
hundred and twenty per measure."

[2:6]
But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in
their hearts, [7] Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins but God only? [8] And immediately when Jesus
perceived in his
spirit that they so reasoned within themselves,
he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
[9] Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise,
and take up thy
bed, and walk? [10] But that ye may know that the Son of
man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the
palsy,) [11] I say unto thee, Arise, and
take up thy bed,
and go thy way
into thine house.
[12] And immediately he arose, took upthe bed,
and went forth
before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God,
saying, We never saw it on this fashion. [13] And he went forth
again by the sea side; and all
the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. [14]
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the
receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
[15] And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans
and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there
were many,
and they followed
him.

(10)
Jesus said, "I
have cast fire
upon the world,
and see,
I am
guarding it until it blazes."

[2:16]
And when the
scribes and Phariseessaw him eat
with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it
that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? [17] When Jesus
heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have
no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance. [18] And the disciples of
John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him,
Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy
disciples fast not? [19] And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
fast, while the
bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the
bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

(11)
Jesus said, "This
heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.
The dead
are not alive, and the
living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead,
you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the
light, what will you do? On the day
when you were one
you became two.
But when you become
two, what will you do?"

[2:20]
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from
them, and then shall they fast in those days. [21] No man also seweth a
piece of new cloth on an
old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh
away from the
old, and the rent is made worse. [22] And no man putteth
new wine into old
bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles,
and the wine is spilled, and the bottles
will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
[23] And it came to pass, that he went
through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as
they went,
to
pluck the
ears of corn. [24] And the Pharisees said unto him,
Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? [25]
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had
need, and was an hungred,
he, and they that were with him? [26] How he went into the house
of God in the days of Abiatharthe high priest,
and did eat the
shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but
for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? [27] And he
said unto them, The
sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
[28] Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

(12)
The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from
us. Who is to
be our leader?"
Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous,
for whose sake heaven
and earthcame
into being."

[3:1]
And he entered
again into the synagogue; and there was a man there
which had a withered hand. [2] And they watched him, whether he would
heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. [3] And he
saith unto the
man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. [4] And he
saith unto them, Is
it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to
save life, or to kill?
But they held their peace. [5] And when he had looked round about on
them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he
saith unto the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out:
and his hand was restored
whole as the other. [6] And the Pharisees
went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians
against him, how they might destroy him.

(13)
Jesus said
to his disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am
like." Simon Peter
said to him, "You are like a
righteous angel." Matthew
said to him, "You
are like a wise philosopher." Thomas
said to him, "Master, my
mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like."
Jesus said, "I
am not your master. Because you have drunk, you
have become intoxicated
from the bubbling spring which I have measured
out."
And he took him
and withdrew and told him three things.
When Thomas returned to his
companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"
Thomas said to them, "If
I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones
and throw them at me; a fire will
come out
of the stones and burn you up."

[3:7]
But Jesus
withdrew himself with his disciples
to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from
Judaea, [8] And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond
Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had
heard what great things he did, came unto him. [9] And he spake to his disciples,
that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest
they should throng him. [10] For he had healed many; insomuch that they
pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. [11] And unclean spirits,
when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son
of God. [12] And he straitly charged them
that they should not make him known. [13] And he goeth up
into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto
him. [14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and
that he might send them forth to preach, [15] And to have power to heal
sicknesses, and to cast out devils: [16] And Simon he
surnamed Peter;
[17] And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and
he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: [18] And
Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew,
and Thomas,
and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
[19] And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
[20] And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not
so much as eat
bread. [21] And when his friends
heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
[22] And the scribes which came down
from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils
casteth he out devils. [23] And he called them unto him, and said unto
them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? [24] And if a kingdom
be divided
against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [25] And if a house be divided
against itself, that house cannot stand. [26] And if Satan
rise up against himself, and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end. [27] No man can enter into a strong
man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first
bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. [28] Verily I
say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies
wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
[29] But he that shall blaspheme
against the
Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
[30] Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

(14)
Jesus said to them, "If you fast you will give rise to sin for
yourselves; and if you pray,
you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your
spirits. When
you go into any land and
walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set
before you, and heal the sick
among them. For what
goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from
your mouth - it is that which will defile you."

[3:31]
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without,
sent unto him, calling him. [32] And the multitude sat about him, and
they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for
thee. [33] And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
brethren? [34] And he looked round about on them which sat about him,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! [35] For whosoever shall do the
will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and
mother.
[4:1] And he began again to teach by
the sea side: and there
was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship,
and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
[2] And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his
doctrine, [3] Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower
to sow: [4] And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by
the way
side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it
up. [5] And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and
immediately it
sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: [6]
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root,
it withered away. [7] And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew
up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. [8]
And other fell on good
ground, and did yield fruit that
sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
sixty, and some an hundred. [9] And he said unto them, He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear.

(15)
Jesus said, "When
you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on
your faces and worship him. That one is your father."

[4:10]
And when he was
alone, they
that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
[11] And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the
kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these
things are done in parables:
[12] That seeing
they may see,
and not perceive;
and hearing they may hear, and not understand;

(16)
Jesus said, "Men
think, perhaps, that it is peace
which I have come to cast
upon the world. They do not know
that it is dissension
which I have come to cast
upon the earth: fire, sword, and war.
For there will be five in a house: three will be against
two, and two against three, the father against the son,
and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary."

lest at any
time they
should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven
them. [4:13] And he said unto them, Know ye not
this parable? and how
then will you
know all parables?
[14] The sower soweththe word.
[15] And these are they by the way side, where the word is
sown;
but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the
word that was sown
in their hearts. [16] And these are they likewise which
are sown on
stony ground; who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness; [17] And have no root in
themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution
ariseth for the
word's sake, immediately they are offended.
[18] And these are they which are sown among
thorns; such as hear the
word, [19] And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things
entering in, choke the
word, and it becometh unfruitful. [20] And these are they
which are sown
on good ground;
such as hear the
word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some
thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

(17)
Jesus said, "I shall give
you what no eye has seen
and what no ear
has heard
and what no hand
has touched and what has never
occurred to the human mind."

[4:21]
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or
under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? [22] For there is
nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. [23]
If any man have ears
to hear,
let him hear.
[24] And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall
more be given.
[25] For he that hath, to him shall be given: and
he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. [26]
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed
into the ground; [27] And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the
seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

(18)
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end
will be."
Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning,
that you look for the
end? For where the beginning
is, there will the
end be. Blessed is he who will take his
place in the
beginning; he will know the end and
will not
experience death."

[4:28]
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade,
then the ear, after that the
full corn in the ear. [29] But when the fruit is brought
forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest
is come.
[30] And he said, Whereunto shall we
liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
[31] It is like a
grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the
earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
[32] But when it is sown, it
groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and
shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may
lodge under the shadow of it. [33] And with many such
parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

Our end...
the end...the end... the end

The full corn in the
ear...The harvest...
it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs

The beginning...the beginning...the beginning

First the blade...A grain of
mustard seed...when it is sown in the
earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth

(19)
Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being
before he came into being. If you become my disciples and
listen to my words, these stones
will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise
which remain
undisturbedsummer
and winter and whose leaves do not fall.
Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience death."

[4:34]
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he
expounded all things to his disciples. [35] And the same
day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other
side. [36] And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he
was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
[37] And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the
ship, so that it was now full. [38] And he was in the hinder part of
the ship, asleep
on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master,
carest thou not that we perish?
[39] And he arose, and rebuked the wind,
and said unto the
sea, Peace,
be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
[40] And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?
how is it that ye have no faith? [41] And they feared exceedingly, and
said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea
obey him? [5:1] And they came over unto the other
side of the
sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

(20)
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven
is like."
He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed.
It is the smallest of all
seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil,
it
produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

[5:2]
And when he was come
out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombsa man
with an unclean
spirit, [3] Who had his dwelling among the tombs;
and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: [4] Because that he had
been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been
plucked asunder by him, and broken in pieces:
neither could any
man tame him. [5] And always, night and day, he was in the mountains,
and in the tombs,
crying, and cutting himself with stones. [6]
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, [7] And
cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of the
most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me
not. [8] For he said unto him, Come out of
the man,
thou unclean
spirit. [9] And he asked him, What is thy name? And he
answered, saying, My name is Legion: for
we are many. [10] And he besought him much that he would not send them
away out of the
country.

(21)
Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?"
He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field
which is not theirs. When the
owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back
our field.'
They (will) undress
in their presence in order to let them have back their field
and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a house
knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes
and will not let him dig through into his house of
his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against
the world.
Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers
find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you
expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding.
When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and

[5:11]
Now there was there nigh
unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. [12] And
all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we
may enter into them. [13] And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the
unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two
thousand;) and were choked in the sea. [14] And they that fed the swine
fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And
they went out to see what it was that was done. [15] And they come to
Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the
legion, sitting, and clothed,
and in his right mind: and they were afraid. [16] And they that saw it
told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and
also concerning the swine. [17] And they began to pray him to depart
out of their
coasts. [18] And when he was come into the ship, he that
had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
[19] Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy
friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee,
and hath had compassion on thee. [20] And he departed, and began to
publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all
men did marvel. [21] And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto
the other side, much
people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
[22] And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers
of the synagogue,
Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, [23] And
besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death:
I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and
she shall live. [24] And Jesus went with him; and much people followed
him, and thronged him. [25] And a certain woman, which had an issue of
blood twelve years, [26] And had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered,
but rather grew worse, [27] When she had heard of Jesus, came in the
press behind, and touched his garment. [28] For she said, If I may
touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. [29] And straightway the
fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she
was healed of that plague. [30] And Jesus, immediately
knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned
him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? [31] And his
disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? [32] And he looked
round about to see her
that had done this thing.

(22)
Jesus saw infants
being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled
are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Shall we then, as children,
enter the kingdom?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like
the outside
and the outside
like the inside,
and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one
and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female;
and when you fashion eyes
in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand,
and a foot in
place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a
likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."

[5:33]
But the woman
fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came
and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. [34] And he said
unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy
plague. [35] While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is
dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? [36] As soon as Jesus
heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. [37] And he suffered no man to
follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. [38]
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the
tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. [39] And when he was come in, he
saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel
is not dead, but sleepeth. [40] And they laughed him to scorn. But when
he had put them all out,
he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel,
and them that were with him, and entereth in
where the damsel
was lying. [41] And he took the damsel
by the hand,
and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I
say unto thee, arise.
[42] And straightway the
damsel arose, and walked; for
she was of the
age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
astonishment. [43] And he charged them straitly that no
man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to
eat.
[6:1] And he went out from thence, and
came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
[2] And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished,
saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is
this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought
by his hands?
[3] Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James,
and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?
And they were offended at him.

Jesus said, "I
shall choose you, one out of a thousand,
and two
out of ten
thousand, and they
shall stand as a single one."

[6:4]
But Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honour, but in his own country,
and among his own kin, and in his own house. [5] And he could there do
no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick
folk, and healed them. [6] And he marvelled because of their unbelief.
And he went round about the
villages, teaching.
[7] And he called unto him the twelve,
and began to send them forth by two and two;
and gave them
power over unclean spirits;

(24)
His
disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are,
since it is
necessary for us to seek it."
He said to them, "Whoever
has ears, let him hear. There
is lightwithin a
man of light,
and he lights
up the whole world. If he does not shine, he
is darkness."

[6:8]
And commanded
them that they should take nothing for their journey, save
a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: [9] But be
shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. [10] And he said unto
them, In what
place soever ye enterinto an house,
there abide till ye depart from that place. [11] And whosoever shall
not receive you,
nor hear
you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
than for that
city. [12] And they went out, and preached that men should
repent. [13] And they
cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were
sick, and healed
them.

[6:14]
And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he
said, That John
the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty
works do shew
forth themselves in him. [15] Others said, That it is Elias. And
others said, That it is a
prophet, or as
one of the prophets.

(26)
Jesus said, "You seethe mote
in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own
eye. When
youcast
the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly
to cast the
mote from your brother's eye."

[6:16]
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I
beheaded: he is risen from the dead. [17] For Herod
himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison
for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
[18] For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee
to have thy brother's wife. [19] Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: [20] For Herod feared John,
knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him;
and when he
heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

< Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as
regards the
world, you will not find the kingdom.
If you do not observethe Sabbath
as a Sabbath,
you will not see the
father."

[21]
And when a
convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthdaymade a
supper to his lords, high captains,
and chief estates of Galilee; [22] And
when the
daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and
pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king
said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give
it thee. [23] And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I
will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
[24] And she went forth, and said unto her mother,
What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

(28)
Jesus said, "I
took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to
them in flesh.
I found
all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty.
And my soul
became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind
in their heartsand do not
have sight; for empty they came into the
world,and empty
too they
seek to leavethe world.
But for
the momentthey
are intoxicated. When
they shake off their wine, then they will repent."

[6:25]
And she came in
straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me
by and by in a charger the
head of John the Baptist. [26] And the king was exceeding
sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat
with him, he would not reject her. [27] And immediately
the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to
be brought: and he went and beheaded
him in the prison, [28] And brought his head in
a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her
mother. [29] And when
his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse,
and laid it in
a tomb. [30] And the apostles gathered
themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things,
both what they had done, and what they had taught. [31] And he said
unto them, Come
ye yourselves apart into
a desert place, and rest a while:
for there were many
coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. [32]
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. [33] And the people saw
them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities,
and outwent
them, and came
together unto him.

(29)
Jesus said, "If the flesh
cameinto beingbecause
of spirit,
it is a wonder. But if spirit
came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of
wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth
has made its
home in this poverty."

[6:34]
And Jesus,
when he cameout,
saw much people, and was
moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
[35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples cameunto him,
and said, This is a
desert place, and now
the time is far passed: [36] Send them away, that they may
go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselvesbread:
for they have
nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give ye them
to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred
pennyworth of bread,
and give them
to eat?

[6:38]
He saith unto them, How
manyloaves
have ye? go and
see. And when they
knew, they
say, Five,
and twofishes.
[39] And he commanded them to make all sit down by
companiesupon
the green grass. [40] And they sat down
in ranks,
by hundreds,
and by fifties.
[41] And when he had taken the fiveloaves and
the twofishes,
he looked up
to heaven,
and blessed, and brake
the loaves, and gave them to his disciples
to set before
them; and the twofishesdivided he
among them all. [42] And they did all eat, and
were filled.

Jesus said, "No
prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician
heals those who
know him."

[6:43]
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the
fishes. [44] And they
that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
[45] And straightway he constrained his disciples to get
into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida,
while he sent
away the people.

(32)
Jesus said, "A
city being built on a high mountain
and fortified cannot
fall, nor
can it be hidden."

[6:46]
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
pray. [47] And when even was come, the ship
was in the
midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. [48] And he
saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and
about the
fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea,
and would have passed
by them. [49] But when they saw him walking
upon the sea,

Jesus said, "Preach
from your
housetopsthat
which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a lamp
and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place,
but rather he sets it on a
lampstand so that everyone who enters and
leaves will see its light."

[6:49b]
they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
[50] For they all
saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with
them, and saith unto them, Be
of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. [51] And he went up unto
them into the
ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves
beyond measure, and wondered. [52] For they considered not the miracle
of the loaves: for their
heart was hardened. [53] And when they had passed over,
they came
into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. [54]
And when they
were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

Jesus said, "Ifa blind
man leads a blind man, they will
both fall into
a pit."

[6:55]
And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in
beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. [56]
And whithersoever he entered,
into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in
the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were
but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Jesus said, "It is not
possible for anyone
to enter the

binds his hands; then he
will (be able to) ransack

[7:1]
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and
certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
[2] And when they saw some of his discipleseat bread
with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
[3] For the
Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their
hands oft, eat
not, holding
the tradition of the elders. [4] And when they come from the
market, except
they wash, they eat not.
And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. [5]
Then the
Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciplesaccording to the
tradition of the
elders, but eat
bread with unwashen hands?

His disciples said, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?"
Jesus said, "When you disrobewithout
being ashamed and take upyour garments
and place them
under your feet like little children
and tread on
them, then will you see the son of the living one,
and you will not
be afraid"

[7:7]
Howbeit in vain
do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men. [8] For laying aside
the commandment of God, ye holdthe
tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups:
and many other such like things ye do. [9] And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the
commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. [10]
For Moses said, Honour
thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother,
let him die the
death: [11] But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me; he shall be
free. [12] And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
[13] Making the
word of God of none effect through your tradition, which
ye have delivered:

When shall we see you?

Jesus said, "Many
times have you
desired to hear
these words which I am saying to you, and you haveno one else
to hear
them from.
There will be days when
you will look
for me and will not find me."

[7:13b]
and many
such like things do ye. [14] And when he had called
all the people unto him,
he said unto them, Hearken
unto meevery
one of you,
and
understand: [15] There is nothingfrom
without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things
which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
[16] If any man have ears
to hear,
let him
hear.

(39)
Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of
knowledge (gnosis) and hiddenthem. They
themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed
to enter
those who wish
to. You, however, be as wise as serpents
and as innocent
as doves."

[7:17]
And when he was entered
into the house from the people, his disciples asked him
concerning the
parable. 18] And he saith unto them, Are ye so without
understanding also? Do ye
not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without enterethinto the man,
it cannot
defile him; [19] Because it entereth
not into his
heart, but into
the belly, and goeth out into the draught,
purging all meats? [20] And he said, That which cometh out of the man,
that defileth the
man. [21] For from
within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, [22] Thefts,
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
[23] All these evil
things come from
within, and defile the man.
[24] And from thence he arose, and went into
the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and enteredinto an
house, and would have no manknow it:
but he
could not be hid.

[7:25]
For a certain
woman, whose young daughter
had an unclean
spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
[26] The woman
was a Greek, a
Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he
would cast forththe devilout
of her daughter.
[27] But Jesus said unto her, Let the children
first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast
it unto the dogs. [28] And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord:
yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's
crumbs. [29] And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil
is gone out
of thy daughter.
[30] And when she was come to her house, she found the devilgone out,
and her daughter
laid upon the bed.

Jesus said, "Whoever

[7:31]
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon,
he came unto the sea
of Galilee, through
the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. [32] And they bring unto
him one thatwas deaf,
and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him
to put his hand
upon him.

[7:33]
And he took him
aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his
ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; [34] And looking up to heaven, he
sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

(43)
His disciples said to him, "Who are you, that you should say these
things to us?"
<Jesus said to them,> "You do not realize
who I am from what I
say to you, but you have become like the
Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit
(or) love the
fruit and hate
the tree."

[7:35]
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue
was loosed, and he spake plain.
[36] And he charged them that they should tell no man:
but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
[37] And were
beyond measure astonished, saying, He
hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the
dumb to speak.
[8:1] In those days the multitude being very
great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus
called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, [2] I have
compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three
days, and have nothing to eat:
[3] And if I send them away fasting to
their own houses, they
will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
[4] And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men
with bread
here in the wilderness? [5] And he asked them, How many loaves have
ye? And they said, Seven. [6] And he commanded the people
to sit down on
the ground: and he took the seven loaves,
and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before
them; and they did set them before the people.

Jesus said, "Whoeverblasphemesagainst

[8:7]
And they
had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded
to set them also before them. [8] So they did
eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven
baskets. [9] And they that had eaten were about four
thousand: and he sent them away. [10] And straightway he entered into a ship with his
disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. [11] And the Pharisees
came forth, and began to question
with him, seeking
of him a sign
from heaven,
tempting
him. [12] And he sighed deeply in his spirit,
and saith, Why doth this
generationseek
after a sign?
verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given
unto this
generation. [13] And he left them,
and entering into
the ship again departed to
the other side.

Jesus said, "Grapes
are not harvested from thorns, nor are figsgathered
from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man
brings forth good from his
storehouse; an
evil man brings forth evil things
from his evil
storehouse, which is in his heart,
and says evil
things. For out of the abundance
of the hearthe brings
forthevil
things."

[8:14]
Now the
disciples had forgotten to take bread,
neither had they in the
ship with them more than one loaf.
[15] And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. [16] And they reasoned
among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. [17]
And when Jesus
knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye,
because ye have no bread?
perceive
ye not yet, neither understand?
have ye your heart
yet hardened? [18] Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye
not? and do ye not remember?
[19] When I brake the five loaves
among five thousand, how many
baskets full of fragments
took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
[20] And when the seven
among four thousand, how many
baskets full of fragmentstook ye up?
And they said, Seven.
[21] And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

(46)
Jesus said, "Amongthose born
of women, from Adam until John the Baptist,
there is no one
so superior
to John the
Baptist that his
eyes should not
be lowered (before him). Yet I have said, whichever one of you
comes to be a child will be acquainted
with the kingdom
and will become
superior to John.

[8:22]
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man
unto him, and besought him to touch him. [23] And he took the blind man
by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes,
and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw
ought. [24] And he looked
up, and said, I
see men as trees, walking. [25] After that he put his
hands again upon his
eyes, and made him look up:
and he was restored, and sawevery manclearly.
[26] And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
town, nor tell it to any
in the town. [27] And Jesus went out, and his disciples,
into the towns of Caesarea
Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them, Whom do men
say that I am? [28] And they answered, John the Baptist:
but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of
him.

(47)
Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to
mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant
to serve two
masters; otherwise he will honor the one and treat the other
contemptuously. No man
drinks old wineand
immediatelydesires
to drink new wine. And new wine is
not put into old
wineskins, lest they burst;
nor is old wine
put into a new
wineskin, lest it spoil it.
An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment,
because a tear would result."

[8:31]
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man
must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the
chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three
days rise again. [32] And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and
began to rebuke him. [33] But when he had turned about and
looked on his
disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
[34] And when he had called
the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me. [35] For whosoever
will save his
lifeshall
lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and
the gospel's, the same shall save it. [36] For what shall
it profit a man,
if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a
man give in exchange for his soul?
[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man
be ashamed, when he cometh in
the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

A man... No man

The Son of man...
men... a man... a man... the Son of man

Jesus said, "If
two make peace with each other in this one house,
they will
say to the mountain,'Move Away,'
and it will move
away."

[9:1]
And he said unto them, Verily
I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand
here, which shall not
taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of Godcome with
power.
[2] And after six days Jesus taketh with him
Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an
high mountainapart by
themselves:

If two make peace with
each other

Apart by themselvesJesus taketh with him
Peter, and James, and John (I.e. Jesus and the
Bride)

(49)
Jesus said, "Blessed
are the solitary and elect, for you will find the Kingdom.
For you are
from it, and to it you will return."

[9:2b]
and he was
transfigured before them. [3] And
his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth
can white them. [4] And there
appeared unto themElias with Moses: and
they were talking with Jesus. [5] And Peter answered and said to Jesus,
Master, it is
good for us to be here: and let us make threetabernacles;
one
for thee, and one
for Moses,
and one
for Elias.

(50)
Jesus said, "If
they say to you, 'Where did you come from?',
say to them,
'We came from
the light, the
place where the light came into being on its own accordand
established [itself]and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you,
'Is it you?', say,
'We are its
children, we are the elect of the Living Father.' If they ask you,
'What is the
sign of your father in you?', say to them,
'It is movement
and repose.'"

[9:6]
For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. [7] And there
was a cloud
that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son:
hear him. [8] And suddenly, when they had looked
round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
[9] And as they
came down from the mountain, he charged them that they
should tell no
man what things they had seen, till the Son of man
were risen from
the dead. [10] And they kept that saying
with themselves, questioning one with
another what the
rising from the dead should mean. [11] And they asked him, saying,
Why say
the scribes that Elias must first come? [12] And he answered and told them,
Elias
verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it
is written of the
Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at
nought. [13] But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come,
and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of
him. [14] And when he came to his disciples,
he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes
questioning with them. [15]
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him,
were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. [16] And he asked the scribes,
What question ye with them?

If they say to you...Say to them...If they say to you...Say

A voice came
out of the cloud, saying...Tell no man what things

with themselves

If they ask you...Say to them

They asked him, saying...He answered and told
them...And the scribes

father in you?... It is movement and repose

Risen from the dead...The rising from the dead

(51)His
disciples said to Him, "When will the repose of
the dead come about, and when will the new world
come?" He said to them, "What you look forward to
has already come, but you do not recognize it."

[9:17]
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought
unto thee my
son, which hath a dumb spirit; [18] And wheresoever he
taketh him, he
teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth
away: and I spake to thy disciples
that they should cast him out; and they could not.
[19] He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation,
how long
shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?bring him
unto me. [20] And they brought
him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightwaythe spirit
tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
[21] And he asked his father, How long is it ago since
this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming

(52)
His disciples said to Him, "Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel,
and all of them
spoke in You."
He said to them, "You
have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the dead."

[9:22]
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to
destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and
help us. [23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible
to him that believeth. [24] And straightway the father of the child
cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help
thou mine unbelief. [25] When Jesus saw that the people
came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him,
Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him,
and enter no
more into him. [26] And the spirit cried, and rent him
sore, and came
out of him: and he was as one dead;
insomuch that many
said, He is dead.

(53)
His disciples said to Him, "Is
circumcision beneficial or not?" He said to them, "If it were beneficial,
their
father would beget
them already circumcised
from their
mother. Rather, the true circumcision in
spirit has become completely profitable."

[9:27]
But Jesus
took him by the hand, and lifted
him up; and he arose. [28] And when he was come into the
house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him
out? [29] And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,
but by prayer and fasting.
[30] And they departed thence, and
passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
[31] For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is
delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him;
and after that
he is killed, he shall rise the third day. [32] But they
understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

Is circumcision
beneficial or not

The Son of man is
delivered into the hands of men

Circumcised

They shall kill
him... he is killed

Their father... their mother... beget

The Son of man

spirit

arose...After that he is killed,

(54)
Jesus said, "Blessed
are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven."

[9:33]
And he came to Capernaum:
and being in the
house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves
by the way? [34] But they held their peace: for
by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the
greatest.

(55)
Jesus said, "Whoever
does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to Me.
And whoever
does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross
in My way
will not be
worthy of Me."

[9:35]
And he
sat down, and called
the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be
first, the same shall be
last of all, and servant of all.
[36] And he
took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when
he had taken him in
his arms, he said unto them, [37] Whosoever shall receive
one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive
me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. [38]
And John answered him, saying, Master, we
saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us:
and we forbad him, because he
followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for
there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly
speak evil of me. [40] For he that is not against us is on our
part.

Whoever does not hate
his father and his mother...
whoever does not hate

Whosoever shall receive
one of such children...Whosoever shall receive
me

(56)
Jesus said, "Whoever
has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse,
and whoever
has found a
corpseis
superior to the
world."

[9:41]
For whosoever
shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because
ye belong
to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his
reward. [42] And
whosoever shall offend one of these little ones
that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

(57)
Jesus said, "The
Kingdom of the Father is like a man who
had [good] seed.
His enemy
came by night and sowedweeds
among the good
seed. The
man did not allow them to pull upthe weeds;
he said to them, 'I
am afraid that you will go intending to pull upthe weeds andpull upthe wheatalong with
them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be
plainly visible, and they will be pulled up
and burned."

[9:43]
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off:
it is better for thee to enter into lifemaimed,
than having two
hands to go into hell, into the fire
that never shall be quenched: [44] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is
not quenched. [45] And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off:
it is better for thee to enter halt into
life, than having two
feet to be cast
into hell, into the fire
that never shall be quenched: [46] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is
not quenched. [47] And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out:
it is better for thee to enter
into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to
be cast intohell fire:
[48] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is
not quenched. [49] For every
one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
shall be salted with salt. [50] Salt is good: but if the salt have lost
his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and
have peaceone with
another.
[10:1] And he arose from thence, and
cometh into the coasts of Judaea
by the farther side of Jordan:
and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught
them again.

The Kingdom of the Father

The kingdom of God

A man... The man

Every one... every sacrifice

[Good] seed... the good
seed... the wheat

Maimed... halt... one eye... into life... into life... into the kingdom of God( See Thomas 22 )... Judaea = " he shall be
praised "

(58)
Jesus said, "Blessed is the
man who has suffered and found life."

[10:2]
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
tempting
him. [3] And he answered and said unto them, What did
Moses command you? [4] And they said, Moses suffered to
write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

(59)
Jesus said, "Take
heed of the
Living Onewhile
you are alive, lest you die and seek to see Him and be
unable to do so."

[10:5]
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your
heart he wrote you this precept. [6] But from the beginning of
the creation God made them male and female.
[7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
[8] And they twain
shall be one
flesh: so then they are no
more twain, but one flesh.

(60)
< They saw> a Samaritan carrying a lambon his way to Judea. He
said to his disciples, "(Why does) that man
(carry) the lamb around?" They said to him, "So that he
may kill it and
eat it." He said to them, "While it is alive,
he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it
and it has become
a corpse." They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise."
He said to them, "You
too, look for a place for yourself withinthe Repose,
lest you become a corpse and be eaten."

[10:9]
What therefore God hath joined
together, let
not man put asunder. [10] And in the house his
disciples asked him again of the same matter. [11] And he
saith unto them, Whosoever shall put awayhis wife,
and marry another, committeth
adultery against her. [12] And if a woman
shall put away
her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
[13] And they brought young children to
him, that he should touch
them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
[14] But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them,
Suffer the
little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for
of such is the
kingdom of God. [15] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter
therein. [16] And he
took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
[17] And when he was gone forth into the
way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good
Master, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

On his way to Judea. He
said to his disciples

In the house his
disciples asked him

(Why does) that man
(carry) the lamb around?

He took them up (the little children) in his arms, put his
hands upon them, and blessed them

(61)
Jesus said, "Two
will rest on a bed: the one will die, and
other will live." Salome
said to him, "Who
are You, man, that You, as though from the
One, have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?"
Jesus said to her, "I am He who exists from the Undivided.
I was given
some of the things of my Father."<
Salome
said,> "I
am Your disciple."< Jesus said to her,>
"Therefore I say, if
he is< undivided>, he will be filled with light,
but if he is divided,
he will be
filled with darkness."

[10:18]
And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that
is, God. [19] Thou knowest the
commandments, Do
not commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not
steal, Do
not bear false witness, Defraud not,
Honour thy
father and mother. [20] And he answered and said unto him,
Master,
all these have I observed from
my youth. [21] Then Jesus beholding
him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou
lackest: go
thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross,
and follow me. [22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved:
for he had
great possessions.
[23] And Jesus looked round about, and
saith unto his
disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom
of God! [24] And the disciples
were astonished
at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children,
how hard is it for them
that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom
of God! [25] It is easier for a camel to
go through the eye
of a needle, than for a
rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God. [26] And they were astonished
out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? [27]
And Jesus looking
upon them saith, With men
it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are
possible.

Jesus said, "It is to those
[who are worthy of My] mysteries that I tell My mysteries.
Do not let your
left hand know what your right hand
is doing."

[10:28]
Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and
have followed thee. [29] And Jesus answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or
lands, for my sake, and the
gospel's, [30] But he shall receive
an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and
mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the
world to come eternal
life. [31] But many that are first shall be last;
and the last
first.

(63)
Jesus said, "There was a
rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my
money to use so that I may sow,
reap,
plant,
and fill my
storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack
nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same nighthe died.
Let him
who has ears hear."

[10:32]
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem;
and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed;
and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve,
and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, [33] Saying,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem;
and the Son of
man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and
unto the scribes;
and they shall
condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the
Gentiles: [34] And they
shall mock him, and shall
scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him:
and the third
dayhe
shall rise again.

and... the scribes)

(64)
Jesus said, "A
man had received
visitors. And when he had prepared the
dinner, he
sent his servant to invite guests.
He went
to the first one and said to him, "My master invites you.'
He said, 'I have claims against some merchants.
They are coming
to me this evening. I must go
and give them
my orders. I
ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to
another and said, 'My
master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a
house and am required for the day. I shall not have any
spare time.' He
went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.'
He said to him, 'My
friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the
banquet. I shall not be able to come.
I ask to
be excused from the dinner.' He went to
another and said to him, 'My masterinvites you.'
He said to him, 'I
have just bought a farm, and I am on my way
to collect the
rent. I shall not be able to come.
I ask to
be excused.' The
servant returned and said to his master,
'Those whom you
invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.'
The master
said to his
servant, 'Go outside to the streets
and bring back those
whom you happen to meet, so that they maydine.' Businessmen and merchants
will not enter
the Places of My Father."

[10:35]
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we
would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. [36]
And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? [37]
They said unto him, Grant
unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy
left hand, in thy glory. [38] But Jesus said unto them, Ye
know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I
drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with? [39] And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto
them, Ye shall indeed drink
of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am
baptized withal shall ye be baptized: [40] But to sit on my right hand
and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to
them for whom it is prepared. [41] And when the ten heard
it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. [42] But Jesus called them to him,
and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over
the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority
upon them. [43] But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever
will be great
among you, shall be your
minister: [44] And whosoever
of you will be
the chiefest, shall be servant of
all. [45] For even the
Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many.
[46] And they came to Jericho: and as he went out
of Jericho with his disciples and
a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the
son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. [47] And
when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and
say, Jesus,
thou Son of David, have mercy on me. [48] And many charged
him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David,
have mercy on me. [49] And Jesus
stood still, and commanded
him to be called. And they call the blind man,
saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
[50] And he,
casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
[51] And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should
do unto thee? The
blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
[52] And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way;
thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight,

(65)
He said, "There was a
good man who owned a vineyard.
He leased it to tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might
collect the
produce from them. He sent his servant
so that the tenants might give him the produce
of the vineyard.
They
seized his servant and beat him, all but
killing him. The
servant went back and told his master.
The master
said, 'Perhaps <they> did not recognize<
him>.' He
sent another servant. The tenants beat this one
as well. Then the
owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show
respect to my
son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to
the
vineyard, they
seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear."

[11:1]
And when they came nigh
to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives,
he sendeth
forth two of his disciples, [2] And saith unto them, Go
your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be
entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied,
whereon never man
sat; loose him,
and bring him. [3] And if any
man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord
hath need of him; and straightway he will send him
hither. [4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied
by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
[5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the
colt? [6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded:
and they let
them go. [7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast
their garments on him; and he sat upon him. [8] And many spread their
garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and
strawed them in the way. [9] And they that went before, and they that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name
of the Lord:
[10] Blessed be the
kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Hosanna in the highest. [11] And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into
the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now
the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany
with the twelve.
[12] And on the morrow, when they were
come from Bethany,
he was hungry: [13] And seeing a fig tree
afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing
thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the
time of figs
was not yet. [14] And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of
thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

(66)
Jesus said, "Show me the
stone which the
builders have rejected.
That one
is the cornerstone."

[11:15]
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the
temple, and began to cast outthem that
sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers,
and the seats of them
that sold doves; [16] And would not suffer that any man
should carry any vessel through the temple.

(67)
Jesus said, "If one
who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely
deficient."

[11:17]
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be
called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of
thieves. [18] And the
scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they
might destroy him: for they
feared him, because all the people was astonished at his
doctrine. [19] And when even was come, he went out of the city.

(68)
Jesus said, "Blessed
are you when you
are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been
persecuted they will find no place."

[20]
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up
from the roots. [21] And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him,
Master, behold, the
fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. [22] And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. [23] For verily I
say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;

Blessed are you

Thou cursedst

You are hated and
persecuted

The fig tree which thou
cursedst is withered away

Wherever

This mountain

Wherever you have been
persecuted they will find no place

Say unto this mountain, Be
thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea

(69)
Jesus said, "Blessed
are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is
they who have truly
come to knowthe
father. Blessed
are the hungry,
for the belly
of him who desires will be filled."

[11:23b]
and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he
shall have whatsoever he saith. [24]
Therefore I say unto you, What
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive
them, and ye
shall have them. [25] And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have
ought against any: that your Father
also which is in
heaven may forgive
you your trespasses. [26] But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your
Father which is in heavenforgive your trespasses.

Blessed are they...Blessed... the belly of him who
desires will be filled

(70)
Jesus said, "That
which you have will save you if you bring it forth from
yourselves. That
which you do not havewithin youwillkill you if
you do not have it within
you."

[27]
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was
walking in the
temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders, [28] And say unto him, By what authority doest
thou these things? and who gave thee this authority
to do these
things?[29] And Jesus answered and said unto
them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will
tell you by what authority
I do these things. [30] The
baptism of John, was it from heaven, or
of men? answer me. [31] And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? [32]
But if we shall say, Ofmen; they feared the people:
for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. [33] And they
answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith
unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do
these things.

That which you have will
save you

Authority...authority... authority... authority

Bring it forth from...
within you... within you

These things... these things... do these things

That which you do not
have

They feared the people
(i.e. the chief priests and scribes did not have authority)

Bring it forth from
yourselves

By what authority doest
thou these things?... what authority I do
these thingswas
it from heaven, or of men?... From heaven... Ofmen

(71)
Jesus said, "I shall destroy
this house, and no one will
be able to build
it [...]."

[12:1]
And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a
vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the
winefat, and built
a tower, and let it out to husbandmen,
and went into a far country. [2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen
a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen
of the fruit of the vineyard. [3] And they caught him, and beat him,
and sent him away empty. [4] And again he sent unto them another
servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him
in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. [5] And again he
sent another; and
him they killed, and many others; beating
some, and
killing some.

Build it

Built a tower

Destroy this house

Beat him... wounded him... and him they killed... beating... and killing

(72)
A man said
to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's
possessions with me."
He said to him, "O man, who has made me a divider?"
He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am
I?"

[12:6]
Having yet therefore one
son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them,
saying, They will reverence my son. [7]
But those
husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;
come, let us kill
him, and the
inheritanceshall
be ours. [8] And they took him, and killed him,
and cast him out of the
vineyard. [9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard
do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard
unto others. [10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which
the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: [11] This was
the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [12] And they
sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he
had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their
way.

(73) Jesus said, "The harvest is
great but
the laborers
are few. Beseech the
Lord,
therefore, to send
outlaborers to the harvest."

[12:13]
And they send
unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to
catch him in his words. [14] And when they were come, they say unto
him, Master,
we know that thou art true, and carest for no man:
for thou regardest
not the person of men, but teachest the way
of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? [15]
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy,
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a
penny, that I may see it.

(74)
He said, "O Lord,
there are many around
the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."

[12:15]
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy,
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
that I may see it.[16] And they brought it. And
he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
[17] And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that
are Caesar's,
and to God
the things
that are God's.
And they marvelled at him.

(75)
Jesus said, "Many
are standing
at the door, but it is the
solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."

[12:18]
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection;
and they asked him, saying, [19] Master,
Moses wrote unto us, If a
man's brotherdie,
and leave
his wife behind him, and leave no
children, that his
brother should take his wife,
and raise up
seed unto his
brother. [20] Now there were seven brethren:
and the first took
a wife, and dyingleft
no seed. [21] And the second took her, and died,
neither left
he any seed: and the third likewise.

Many

Seven brethren... a man's brother... his brother... his brother

Standing

Resurrection... raise up

The solitary

Master

Enter

Leave... left... left

Enter the bridal chamber

Die...leave his wife.... take
his wife.... took a wife... dying... took her, and died

(76)
Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father
is like a
merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and
who discovereda pearl.
That
merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise
and bought the
pearlalone
for himself. You too, seek his unfailing
and enduring
treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys."

[12:22]
And the seven
had her, and left no seed: last of all the womandie also.
[23] In the
resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be
of them? for the
seven had her to wife. [24]
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,
because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? [25] For
when they shall rise
from the dead,
they neither marry,
nor are given
in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
[26] And as touching the
dead, that they rise: have
ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him,
saying, I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob?
[27] He is not
the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore
do greatly
err.

(77)
Jesus said, "It is I who am the light
which is above
them all. It is I who am the all.
From me
did the allcome
forth, and unto
me did the
allextend.

(Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will
find me there.")

[12:28]
And one of the scribes came,
and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had
answered them well, asked him, Which is the first
commandment of
all? [29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all
the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one
Lord: [30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all
thy mind, and with all
thy strength: this is the
first commandment. [31] And the second is like, namely
this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater
than these. [32] And the scribe said unto him,
Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God;
and there is
none other but he: [33] And to love him with all the
heart, and with all
the understanding, and with all the
soul, and with all
the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. [34] And when Jesus saw that he
answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not farfrom the
kingdom of God.

The light

The truth

Above them all

The first... of all... The first of all... the first... none...
greater

(78)
Jesus said, "Why
have you come
out into the desert? To see a reed
shaken by the
wind? And to see a man clothed in fine
garments like your
kings and your great men? Upon them are the fine garments,
and they are unable
to discern the truth."

[12:34b]
And no man after that durst ask him any question.
[35] And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
How say the
scribes that Christ is the Son of David? [36]
For David
himself said by
the Holy Ghost, The Lord said
to my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool. [37] David therefore
himself calleth him Lord;
and whence is he then his son? And the common people
heard him gladly.
[38] And he said unto them in his doctrine,
Beware of the
scribes, which love to go in long clothing,
and love salutations in the marketplaces,

(79)
A woman
from the crowd
said to him, "Blessed
are the womb
which bore you and the
breasts which nourished you."
He said to her, "Blessed
are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly kept it.
For there
will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are
the womb
which has not conceived and the breasts which have
not given milk.'"

[12:39]
And the chief seats in the
synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
[40] Which devour widows'
houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive
greater damnation.
[41] And Jesus sat over against the treasury,
and beheld how the people cast
money intothe
treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
[42] And there came a
certain poor widow, and she threw in
two mites, which make a farthing. [43] And he called unto him his
disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That this poor
widow hath cast
more in,
than all they which have cast
intothe
treasury: [44] For all they did cast in of their
abundance; but she of her want did cast
in all that she had, even all her living.

nourished you

These shall receive
greater damnation (who for
pretense make long prayers)

(80)
Jesus said, "He who has recognizedthe worldhas foundthe body,
but he who has
foundthe
bodyis
superior to the
world."

[13:1]
And as he went out of the
temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what
manner of stones
and what buildings
are here! [2] And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings?
there shall not be left one stone upon
another, that shall not be
thrown down. [3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over
against the
temple,

(81)
Jesus said, "Let him
who has grown richbe king,
and let him who
possesses powerrenounce it."

Peter and James and John
and Andrew asked him privately, [4] Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign when all these things
shall be
fulfilled? [5] And Jesus answering them began to say, Take
heed lest any
man deceive you: [6] For many shall
come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

(82)
Jesus said, "He who is near
me is near the
fire, and he
who is far from me is far from the kingdom."

[13:7]
And when ye
shall hear of wars
and rumours of wars, be ye not
troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
[8] For nation
shall rise against nation,
and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes
in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles:
these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[9] But take heed to yourselves:
for they shall deliver
you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be
beaten: and ye
shall be brought beforerulers and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them.

Jesus said, "The
imagesare
manifest to man, but the light
in them remains
concealed in the
image of the light of the father. He will become manifest,
but his image
will remain
concealed by his light."

[13:10]
And the gospel
must first be published among all nations. [11] But when they shall
lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak,
neither do
ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that
hour, that speak
ye: for it
is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
[12] Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and
children shall rise up against their parents,
and shall cause them to be put to death. [13] And ye shall be hated of all men for
my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(84)
Jesus said, "When
you see your likeness, you rejoice.
But when you
see your images which came into being before you, and
which neither
die not become
manifest, how much you will have to bear!"

[13:14]
But when ye
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth
understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
[15] And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house,
neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
[16] And let him that is in
the fieldnot
turn back again for to take up his garment.
[17] But woe to
them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days!
[18] And pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter. [19] For in those days
shall be affliction,

When you see your
likeness

When ye shall see the
abomination of desolation... take up his garment

You rejoice

Woe to them

Your images which came
into being before you

With child... give suck in those
days... in those days

When you see your images

With child

Neither die

Into the house... out of his house... in the field not turn back again

(85)
Jesus said, "Adam
came into beingfrom a great power and a
great wealth, but he did not becomeworthy of you.
For had he been worthy, he would not have experienced death."

[13:19b]
such as was not from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this
time, neither
shall be.
[20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days,
no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened
the days.

(86)
Jesus said, "The
foxes have their holes and the birds have
their nests, but the
son of man has no place to lay his head and rest."

[13:21]
And then if any
man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo,
he is there; believe him not: [22] For false Christs and false
prophetsshall
rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if
it were possible, even the
elect.

The foxes... the birds... man

Any man... seduce... false Christs and false
prophets

Foxes have... holes...Birds have... nests...The son of man has no

(87)
Jesus said, "Wretched
is the body
that is dependant
upon a body,
and wretched
is the soul
that is dependent
on these two."

[13:23]
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
[24] But in those days, after that tribulation,
the sun
shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light, [25] And the stars of heaven
shall fall, and the
powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

(88)
Jesus said, "The
angels and the
prophets will come
to you and give
to youthose
things you (already) have. And you too, give themthose things which you
have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they come
and take what
is theirs?'"

[13:26]
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
with great
power and glory. [27] And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the
earth to the uttermost part of heaven. [28] Now learn a parable of the
fig tree; When
her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves,
ye know that summer is near: [29] So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these
things come to pass, know that it is nigh,
even at
the doors. [30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall
not pass, till all these things be done.

The angels

When will they come

When her branch is yet
tender... when ye shall see these
things... it is nigh, even at the doors... this generation shall
not pass, till all these things be done

(90)
Jesus said, "Come
unto me, for my
yoke is easy and my lordship
is mild, and you
will find repose for yourselves."

[13:33]
Take ye
heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is. [34] For the Son of man is as a man taking a far
journey, who
left his house, and gave authority to his servants,
and to every
man his work, and commanded
the porter to watch.[35] Watch ye
therefore: for ye
know not when the
master of the house cometh, at
even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: [36]
Lest coming
suddenly he find you sleeping.
[37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

(91)
They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you."
He said to them, "You read the
face of the sky and of the earth, but you have not recognized
the one who is before you, and you do not know
how to read
this moment."

[14:1]
After two days was the
feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the
chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft,
and put him to
death. [2] But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there
be an uproar of
the people.
[3] And being in Bethany in the house of
Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an
alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and
poured it on his
head. [4] And there were some that had
indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of
the ointment made? [5] For it might have been sold for
more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And
they murmured against her. [6] And Jesus said, Let her alone; why
trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

We may believe in you

An uproar of the people

of the earth

You have not recognized

the ointment made?

Read this moment

passover, and of unleavened bread... put him to death

(92)
Jesus said, "Seek
and you will
find. Yet, what you asked me about in former times
and which I did
not tell youthen,
nowI do
desire to tell, but you
do not inquire after it."

[14:7]
For ye have the
poor with you always,
and whensoever
ye will ye may do
them good: but me ye have not always. [8]
She hath
done what she could: she is come aforehand
to anoint my body to the burying. [9] Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever
this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world,
this also that she
hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial
of her.

(93)
< Jesus said,> "Do not givewhat is holyto dogs,
lest they throw
them on the dung-heap. Do not throw the pearls
to swine, lest they [...] it [...]."

[14:10]
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests,
to betray him
unto them. [11] And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to
give
him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

(94)
Jesus said, "He
who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be
let in."

[14:12]
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover,
his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we
go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
[13] And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and
there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
[14] And wheresoever
he shall go in,

He who seeks will find

Where wilt thou that we
go... Go ye into the city

He who knocks will be
let in

There shall meet you a
man... follow him... wheresoever he shall go
in

(95)
Jesus said, "If you have
money, do not lend
it at interest, but give it to one
from whom you will not get it back."

[14:14b]
say ye to the
goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber,
where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [15] And he will shew you a large upper
room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

(96)
Jesus said, "The
kingdom of the father is like a certain woman.
She took a
little leaven, concealed it in some dough, and made it into large loaves.
Let him
who has ears hear."

[14:16]
And his disciples went forth, and came into the city,
and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
[17] And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. [18] And as they sat
and did eat, Jesus said, Verily
I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
[19] And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another
said, Is it I? [20] And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dish. [21]
The Son of
man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son
of man is betrayed!good were it for that
man if he had never been born.

The kingdom of the father

The Son of man... the Son of man

A certain woman

The city

Made it into large loaves

Made ready the passover

Let him who has ears hear

Verily I say unto you,
One of you which eateth with me shall betray me... Is it I? and another
said, Is it I?...It is one of the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dishThat man by whom the Son
of man is betrayed!

She took a little
leaven, concealed it in some dough

Good were it for that
man if he had never been born

Jesus said, "The
kingdom of the father is like a certain woman who was
carrying a jar full of meal. While she was walking on the road,
still some distance from home, the handle of the jar
broke and the
meal emptied out behind heron the road.
She did not realize it; she had noticed no accident.
When she reached her
house, she
set the jar down and found it empty."

[14:22]
And as they did eat,
Jesus took
bread, and blessed, and brake it,
and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
[23] And he
took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to
them: and they all drank
of it. [24] And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many. [25] Verily I say unto you, I will drink no
more of the
fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it
new in the
kingdom of God.
[26] And when they had sung an hymn, they went out
into the mount of Olives. [27] And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall
be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd,
and the sheep
shall be
scattered. [28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you
into Galilee. [29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended,
yet will not I.

Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father
is like a
certain man who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his own househe drew
his sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his
hand could carry through. Then he slew the powerful man."

[14:30]
And Jesus
saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this
night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. [31] But
he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee,
I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. [32] And
they came to
a place which was named Gethsemane:
and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. [33]
And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore
amazed, and to be very heavy; [34] And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. [35] And
he went forward a little, and
fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the
hour might pass from him. [36] And he said, Abba, Father,
all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from
me: nevertheless not what I will, but
what thou wilt.

(99)
The
disciples said to him, "Your brothers and your
mother are standing
outside."
He said to them, "Those
here who do the will of my father are my brothers and my mother.
It is they who will enter
the kingdom of my father."

[14:37]
And he cometh, and findeth
them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon,
sleepest
thou? couldest not thou watch one
hour? [38] Watch
ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit
truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
[39] And again he
went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. [40] And
when he returned, he found them asleep
again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer
him. [41] And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take
your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man
is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
[42] Rise up,
let us go;

The disciples

They showed Jesus a
gold coin and said to him, "Caesar's mendemand
taxes from us."
He said to them, "GiveCaesar
what belongs to Caesar,
giveGod
what belongs to God,
and giveme
what is mine."

[14:42b]
lo, he that
betrayeth me is at hand. [43]
And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve,
and with him a
great multitudewith swords and staves,
from the chief
priest and the scribes and the elders. [44] And he that betrayed him
had given them
a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he;
take him,
and lead him away safely. [45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth
straightway to him, and saith, Master, master;
and kissed him. [46] And they laid their hands on
him, and took
him.

Jesus said, "Woe
to the pharisees,
for they are like a dog
sleeping in the
manger of oxen,
for neither
does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat."

[14:47]
And one of them
that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest,
and cut off his ear. [48] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye
come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
[49] I was
daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not:
but the scriptures must be fulfilled. [50] And they all forsook him,
and fled. [51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a
linen cloth cast about his naked
body; and the young men laid hold on him: [52] And he left the linen
cloth, and fled
from them naked.
[53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest:
and with him were assembled
all the chief
priests and the elders and the scribes. [54] And Peter
followed him afar off, even into the palace
of the high
priest: and he
sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

Woe

Fled... naked... naked... warmed himself

(103)
Jesus said, "Fortunate is the
man who knows where the brigands will enter,
so that he may get
up, muster his
domain, and arm himself before they invade."

[14:55]
And the chief priests and all the council sought for
witness
against Jesusto
put him to death; and found none. [56] For many bare false witness
against him, but their witness agreed not together. [57]
And there arose
certain, and bare
false witness against him, saying, [58] We heard him say,
I will destroy
this temple that is made with hands, and within three days
I will build another
made without hands.

They said to Jesus, "Come,
let us pray
today and let us fast."
Jesus said, "What
is the sin that I have committed, or wherein have I been defeated?
But when the
bridegroomleaves
the bridal chamber, then let them fast and pray."

[59]
But neither so did their witness agree together.
[60] And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee? [61] But he held his peace, and
answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed? [62] And Jesus said, I am: and ye
shall see the
Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.

Come

Coming

Let us pray... pray

(106)
Jesus said, "When you make
the two one, you
will become the sons of man, and when you say,
'Mountain,
move away,' it will move away."

[14:65]
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet
him, and to say unto him, Prophesy:
and the servants
did strike him with the palms of their hands.
[66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace,
there cometh one
of the maids of the high priest: [67] And when she
saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of
Nazareth. [68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither
understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

(107)
Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a shepherd
who had a hundred sheep.
One of them,
the largest,
went astray.
He left the ninety-nine sheep
and looked for that one until he found it. When he had gone to such
trouble, he said to the sheep,
'I care
for you more than the
ninety-nine.'"

[14:69]
And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This
is one of them.
[70] And he denied it again. And a little
after, they that stood by said again to Peter,
Surely thou art one
of them: for thou art a Galilaean,
and thy speech agreeth thereto. [71] But he began to curse and to
swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. [72]
And the second time the cock
crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said
unto him, Before the cock
crow twice, thou shalt deny methrice.
And when he thought thereon, he wept.
[15:1] And straightway in the morning
the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes
and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him
away, and delivered him to Pilate.

(108)
Jesus said, "He who will drink from my mouth
will become
like me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are
hidden will be revealed to him."

[15:2]
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
[3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
[4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee. [5] But Jesus yet answered
nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. [6] Now at that feast
he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. [7] And
there was one
named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made
insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
[8] And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
had ever done unto them.

(109)
Jesus said, "The
kingdom is like a man who
had a hidden
treasure in his
field without knowing it. And after he died, he
left it to his
son. The
son did not know (about the treasure). He inheritedthe field
and sold it. And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure.
He began to lend money
at interest to whomever he wished."

[15:9]
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
[10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
[11] But the chief priests moved the people,
that he should rather release Barabbas
unto them. [12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will
ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
[13] And they cried out again, Crucify him.
[14] Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they
cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
[15] And so Pilate, willing to content the people,
released Barabbas
unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium;
and they call together the whole band. [17] And they clothed him with purple,
and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, [18] And
began to salute him, Hail, King
of the Jews! [19] And they smote him on the head with a
reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
[20] And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple
from him, and put his
own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

The kingdom

The King of the Jews... King of the Jews... the King of the Jews

A man

The people... the people

A hidden treasure... his son... The son did not know
(about the treasure)... the treasure

[15:21]
And they compel one
Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country,
the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The
place of a skull. [23] And they gave him to drink wine
mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not. [24] And when they had crucified
him, they parted his
garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. [26] And the
superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[27] And with him they crucify two thieves;

The world... the world

The country... his cross.... The place of a
skull.... his garments... his right...
and... his left

(111)
Jesus said, "The
heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence.
And the one who lives
from the living one will not see death."
Does not Jesus say, "Whoever
finds himself is superior to the world?"

[15:27b]
the one on his
right hand, and the other on his left.
[28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered
with the transgressors. [29] And they
that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest
it in three days, [30] Save thyself,
and come down
from the cross. [31] Likewise also the chief priests
mocking said among themselves
with the scribes, He saved others; himself he
cannot save. [32] Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the
cross, that we may see and
believe. And they
that were crucified with him reviled him. [33] And when
the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land
until the ninth hour.

(112)
Jesus said, "Woe
to the flesh
that depends on the
soul; woe to the
soul that depends on the flesh."

[15:34]
And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
[35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold,
he calleth Elias. [36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar,
and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us
see whether Elias will come to take him down. [37] And Jesus cried with a
loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
[38] And the
veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom.
[39] And when the centurion, which stood
over against him, saw that he
so cried out, and gave up the ghost,
he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

Woe

Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani...And Jesus cried with a
loud voice... he so cried out

(113)
His
disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom
come?"
<Jesus said,> "It will not come by
waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it
is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father
is spread out
upon the earth, and men do not see it."

[15:40]
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary
the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered
unto him;) and
many other women which came up
with him unto Jerusalem.
[42] And now when the even was
come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day
before the sabbath, [43] Joseph
of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom
of God, came,
and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
[44] And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him
the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. [45]
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph. [46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the
linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and
rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

His disciples

Mary Magdalene, and Mary
the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome...and many other women

When will the kingdom
come?

Now when the even was

Come... come

(114)
Simon Peter
said to him, "Let Maryleave
us, for women
are not worthy
of life."
Jesus said, "I
myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so
that she too may become
a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman
who will make herself male
will enter the
kingdom of heaven."

[15:47]
And Mary
Magdalene and Mary
the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
[16:1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, had
bought sweet spices, that they
might come
and anoint him. [2] And very early in the morning the first day of the
week, they came
unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun. [3] And they said
among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
[4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for
it was very great. [5] And entering
into the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted. [6] And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek
Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him. [7] But go your way,
tell his disciples and Peter
that he goeth
before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him,
as he said unto you. [8] And they went out quickly, and
fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were
amazed: neither said they any thing to any man;
for they were afraid.

(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave
us, for women
are not worthy of life."
Jesus said, "I
myself shall lead her in order to make her male,
so that she too
may become a living spiritresembling you males.
For every
woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of
heaven."

___________________

In Thomas, Peter argues to
exclude Mary. Rather than to exclude Mary, Jesus promises to lead her.
Dramatically, in Mark's gospel the Angel tells Mary to proclaim this
same promise to Peter, who had denied the Lord three times, (Mark
16:7). Reconciliation between Peter and Mary is encouraged by this
message given to Mary for Peter. Just as Jesus had promised to go with
and lead Mary, so also the message of the angel through Mary to Peter
is that Jesus "goeth before you" In this way the promise is
to both Peter and Mary that they might become living Spirits.

Mark
16:9-20 (The extended ending for Mark) also appears to connect with
Thomas 114.

[9] Now when
Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,
out of whom he had cast seven devils. [10] And she went and told them
that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. [11] And they, when
they had heard that he
was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
[12] After that he appeared in another
form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the
country. [13] And they went and told it unto the residue: neither
believed they them.
[14] Afterward he appeared unto the
eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with
their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they
believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. [15] And he
said unto them, Go
ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. [16] He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover.
[19] So then after the Lord had spoken
unto them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And
they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them,
and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
